💛 April is Cancer Prevention & Early Detection Month — and it's one of the most important conversations we can have.

Did you know that many cancers, when caught early, are highly treatable? Regular screenings, knowing your family history, and listening to your body can make all the difference.

At the Texas Center for Proton Therapy, we believe that the best outcomes often begin with early action. And when treatment is needed, having access to advanced, precise options can make an important difference in both care and quality of life. Our team is here to support patients at every step — from education to treatment and beyond.

This April, make your health a priority. Schedule that screening. Ask those questions. Take that first step.

In honor of Colore**al Cancer Awareness Month, we're excited to share a recent Good Morning Texas segment featuring Jared Sturgeon, M.D., Ph.D., of the Texas Center for Proton Therapy. 📺

Dr. Sturgeon breaks down how proton therapy is expanding treatment possibilities for patients with colore**al cancer — delivering highly precise radiation directly to the tumor while helping protect surrounding healthy tissue and critical organs.

“Proton therapy uses a beam only millimeters-wide to deliver radiation directly to the tumor. We can control where that beam stops, allowing us to completely treat the tumor while reducing radiation to nearby healthy tissues.” — Dr. Sturgeon

🥦 March is National Nutrition Month — and we're celebrating by talking about something our patients ask about all the time: eating well during cancer treatment.

Nutrition plays a powerful role in how you feel and heal during cancer care. Staying nourished can help reduce fatigue, maintain strength, and keep your immune system strong throughout your treatment journey.

This month, we're committed to supporting the whole you — body and spirit. 💙

Andrew K. Lee, M.D., MPH, Medical Director of the Texas Center for Proton Therapy, joined Good Morning Texas to break down how proton therapy is changing what's possible for cancer patients — delivering precise treatment that protects the people you love most.

"A cancer diagnosis can often cause burdens not only on the patient but also their loved ones. If we can treat tumors more precisely and minimize exposure to normal tissues, that can translate to decreased side effects, during and after treatment." – Dr. Andrew K. Lee

Colore**al cancer isn't just a disease of older adults anymore — more people under 50 are being diagnosed than ever before. Early detection saves lives, and when treatment is needed, proton therapy is giving patients new options.

Why proton therapy?
- Can treat re**al cancers as part of a comprehensive regimen with chemotherapy and/or surgery.
- May effectively treat colon cancer that has spread to the liver, lungs, lymph nodes, and bone.
- Offers a safer option for patients needing repeat treatment after prior radiation, surgery, and/or chemotherapy.
- Precisely targets tumors while minimizing radiation exposure to healthy organs like the bowel, bladder, and genitalia.
- May mean fewer side effects, less severe health risks, and lower risk of secondary cancers years after treatment.

Whether it's local re**al cancer or metastatic colon cancer, proton therapy can help protect quality of life while effectively treating the disease.

What if cancer treatment could be both more effective AND easier on your body?

A major study in The Lancet shows that's exactly what proton therapy could offer eligible head and neck cancer patients. During proton therapy, some patients experienced:
✓ Reduced feeding tube dependence
✓ Better weight maintenance
✓ Improved swallowing and chewing function
✓ Greater work productivity

Patients who received proton therapy had a reported 90% survival rate at 5 years, compared to 81% for those treated with traditional radiation. This indicates that proton therapy may be an important option to consider for cancer treatment.

Groundbreaking news for head and neck cancer treatment 🎗️

A landmark study in The Lancet has provided data-backed evidence supporting proton therapy as an important treatment option for head and neck cancers — and the results are remarkable.

This Phase III trial of 440 patients across 21 U.S. sites found a true "win-win": 90% of proton therapy patients alive at 5 years vs. 81% with traditional treatment — the first study to show both reduced side effects AND improved survival.
